Daily Space Report - December 25, 2025 - Rising Sunspots and Strong Aurora Potential

0:03 Calaroga Shark Media. This is your daily space report from Sleep from Space. Let's take a quiet look at what's happening above us today. The evening sky features two gas giants. Jupiter rises in the east after sunset. You can't miss its brilliant white glow. Saturn is dimmer but unmistakable in the southwest, setting a few hours after dark. Checking in on the Sun, solar activity is picking up. Active regions on the Sun's surface are growing more complex, increasing the odds of Sea class flares. Astronomers are watching these areas closely.

0:47 The uptick in solar activity means auroras are more likely tonight, especially up north. If you're in Alaska, Canada, or the northern US, look toward the northern horizon. It gets fully dark, green and sometimes red. Curtains might dance overhead. Orion, the Hunter is climbing in the eastern sky after sunset. Look for three bright stars in a row. That's Orion's belt. Follow the belt downward and you'll find Sirious, the brightest star in the night sky, shining with a blue white brilliance low on the horizon. In Rocket News, Asoya's two point one to A is set to lift off later today from Plasetsk Cosmodrome. Russian Federation Russian Federal Space Agency ross Cosmos will use this mission to deploy satellites into orbit and the mission will proceed to orbit. That's the update for today. The Sun, the planets, and our spacecraft continue their slow, steady motion above you. Let that thought carry you gently towards sleep.
